Description

Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata 'Curly' is a cultivar with tightly spiraling submersed leaves. It originated from a mutation of 'Cuba', selected in Nguyen Tien Dung's aquatic plant nursery in Vietnam and introduced to trade in Singapore and other locations. In 2010, Tobias Coring first imported it to Germany. Its cultivation demands are similar to those of 'Cuba'. When grown emersed, the leaves have an oval shape like other L. inclinata varieties and rarely spiral.
